Counter Tops

February 22, 2010

The very first thing that you notice upon entering a kitchen or bathroom is the cabinetry. A split-second later the eye roams to the countertop: a crucial element of the room, carrying significant weight in the look and beauty of the home. Countertops also factor into your wet bar and outdoor kitchen. There is a perfect choice for each room of the house and the large selection at Schrapper’s, both in materials and color palette, is formidable.

Sometimes you are not in the market for a complete renovation. Schrapper’s can add a little newness with new countertops. You’d be surprised how much they improve upon an older kitchen or bathroom.

Counter Top Material Primer

The choice of natural and manmade materials is quite staggering, so Schrapper’s has researched and compiled this wonderful partial list of products with a bit of background to help you establish which is best for your needs. To learn about and view their complete countertop collection you will want to pay them a visit!

Corian®

Manufactured by DuPont®, Corian® is an easy-to-clean solid surface that comes with certification (NSF/ANSI 51) for food contact. What this means is the nonporous material resists stains and the growth of mold, bacteria and mildew when kept clean. The product line includes: countertops, backsplashes and integrated sinks.

Silestone®

Silestone® offers a unique aspect to their product: Microban™ antimicrobial product protection. Additionally, certifications by both the Greenguard Environmental Institute and the National Sanitation Foundation translate to a safer food preparation surface and air quality due to low-to-no off gassing emission of toxic chemicals. When you consider the versatility, manufacturing process and design aesthetics, this product makes sense for use in countertops, floors and walls.

Caesarstone®

This product is manufactured with up to 93% natural quartz; the balance is an aggregate with pigments and polymer resins. What this means in layman’s terms is the hardest, most beautifully manufactured material available to man. The color and design choices may be the most extensive you’ve ever seen, with new products coming out continuously. Caesarstone’s® past is impressive: they’ve been around for 25 years and actually made history with their unique vision and cutting-edge technology. Their plant is impressive beyond words, producing product for every application where hard surfaces are needed and installed.

Granite and Marble

Schrapper’s is proud to have an association with the largest, most comprehensive granite and marble supplier in the region. Their vendor imports directly from more than 50 countries worldwide, offering a choice of hundreds of patterns and upwards of 1000 colors! Service and selection – what a dynamic combination!

Tops in Counter Tops!

It might be said that if Schrapper’s doesn’t carry it, it can’t be found! The types, brands, patterns, materials and colors of their extensive collection are too numerous to mention on one page. This is why Schrapper’s warmly invites customers to visit and discuss their vision for the design project at hand. You may go in with one idea and find that the options go far beyond what was imagined.
